Brain gym exercises for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether simple 'brain gym' exercises can help children with cerebral palsy who have tightness on one side. It's for kids ages 6 to 8 who can walk but have mild muscle stiffness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Can walk without help or with some limits (GMFCS levels I or II)
- No severe vision or hearing problems

This trial tests a special exercise program that combines strength training with resistance for children and teens with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps improve movement, strength, and daily function.
This trial tests whether progressive resistance training can improve function in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. It may help kids walk better and move more easily.
This study tests a therapy that combines thinking, sensing, and movement exercises for children with cerebral palsy. It aims to improve motor skills and daily function.
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (using a cuff to reduce blood flow) to strength training can improve muscle strength and function in young children with cerebral palsy.
This trial studies whether special breathing exercises (inspiratory muscle training) can help children with cerebral palsy improve their lung strength and overall function. It is for kids aged 4 to 12 who have spastic diplegia or hemiplegia and can walk with some help.
This study tests whether simple 'brain gym' exercises can help children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy) improve their balance and quality of life. It could be a good option if you have mild muscle stiffness and are between 6 and 8 years old.
